Interested in landscape governance and cross-border issues? KARLANDS Seminar is for you!

Welcome to the Final Seminar of ENPI KARLANDS, IntellGreenBelt and MULTIEFFORT in Petrozavodsk on 26 November and in Joensuu on 28 November 2014.

The seminars will present the final results and outputs of the projects. KARLANDS will present the online GIS database and its utilization in landscape management planning. In addition, landscape values as well as border area value chains and networks along the Finnish-Russian border will be discussed.

KARLANDS participated in Forestry Forum, which was held in Arkhangelsk during 2-4 Arpil. The event is jointly prepared by the Government of Arkhangelsk Region and the Federal Forestry Agency (Rosleshoz). The program revised the conferences and the seminars on sustainable forest exploitation, illegal logging, the federal management of forest resources and bioenergy development. The key events of the Forum were Roundtables on combatting with illegal logging and second phase of implementation of FLEG process among CIS countries. It has to be noted that “intensification of forestry resources utilization” and “conservation of valuable landscapes” were among the key topics during roundtable sessions, which is also in line with the main targets of KARLANDS project. In parallel session the 11th specialized exhibition, «Wood and Woodworking» took place during the International Forestry Forum in Arkhangelsk.
